Yeah, the worst part is that they all got together to spread the virus around, and then road off to all parts of the country to carry it to their own local circle of friends. And I bet very few of them went home and quarantined for two weeks, or put on masks!

But actually $12.2 billion is wrong: It's not like it's going to affect that many people and then stop. That estimate was just by a certain date. It's going to keep on infecting more and more people until the R value is 0, and that may take a couple of years. Even with vaccines that work.
